When movie editor Dávid Jancsó admitted that he had used AI to change some elements of actors’ voices in “The Brutalist,” he sparked an impassioned online debate about the impact of technology on the arts.

The Brutalist makes an event out of its theatrical screenings, with a 15-minute in-roll intermission splitting its colossal runtime of three hours and 34 minutes. It is perhaps this return to the cinematic spectacle of the mid-20th century that has made some view The Brutalist ’s use of an AI speech-enhancing software as some sort of betrayal to the craft and not as another tool available to filmmakers to enhance the impact and credibility of their storytelling.

Curious about the controversy surrounding The Brutalist and its connection to AI? The film, celebrated for its artistic depth, has sparked heated discussions over its use of technology, leaving audiences questioning the boundaries of creativity in filmmaking.
